    Looking to have some one bring me some trinity IPA, to me this weekend. I know its a RI beer, but have seen it somewhere in Wmass in the past. Does anyone know of a place that currently has it? Don't want to send my contact on a wild goose chase.
    Thanks

    I'm reasonably sure that they don't distribute to MA. In fact, I think it's one of a very small handful of brands that are in RI but not MA. If you do see it in MA, I'd almost be worried that it is ancient at this point.

    There will be an unfortunate hiatus for distribution of our beers in mass so that we can better deal with some of our growing pains in our home market. We hope to have our beers back in mass early next year though. "

    Adding to the breweries, so close, not coming to MA now :slight_frown: But yes, Trinity is RI only.

    Are you guys sure Trinity is RI only? I'm pretty sure I've seen some recently, maybe at Whole Foods.

    I saw it at wines and more in Mansfield a couple weeks ago.

    I've def seen it in mass before and 95 percent certain somewhere in wmass just can't remember where. Possibly table and vine, Johnny macs, Yankee sprites maybe.

    I don't know. Where there is smoke there is fire, and a number people seem to have seen it. If it does make it to MA nowadays, then it is certainly very limited in where it goes for some reason. Seekabrew doesn't have it listed in MA, and that tends to be accurate most of the time. Trinity looks like they have a very old web page listing MA distribution through Burke.

    I'd be careful with it, I've had a few issues recently with Trinity IPA being completely undrinkable even months before its "Best By" date (and this is in RI, so I can't imagine shipping will helps its cause)

    They definitely distribute to MA, I've seen it in Boston. I've had it on draft at the brewpub and enjoyed it but never bought a six pack because I figured there was a high probability of it not being fresh.

    I was at the Craft Beer Cellar yesterday in Belmont (nowhere near Western Mass) and know for a fact I saw it there so they distribute at some of their beer to Mass. Still not sure where it can be found out west though.

    I bought a six-pack of it at Downtown in Somerville. It was fresh and very good. I know it's not Western Mass, but it definitely exists in Mass and can be found fresh.
